"THE BOLDEST MOVE..."

 

Young Emlyn strolls through Evergine Woods nearly everyday with her father and sometimes her mother to pick wild fruits and to play with her friends. Everyday, she goes to school, and everyday she plays with her friends. Emlyn lives in the province of Falkan where its distinct regions have marked it as a wonderful nature attraction, yet its people lived simple and independent. The towns people have lived in these distinct regions peacefully for decades.

As the regions are half known, there comes a stranger living in the unknown depths with an erratic mind. Coming all the way from the outskirts of the loosely populated Deflon Village up north, the stranger roams southward deep into the vast Evergine Woods. The stranger is soon known to follow fellow townspeople and dispatch them from their ongoing, cherished lives. Being dextrous and vile in some cases, hardly anyone wishes to come near him less be found by him. A treacherous and wrongful creature he may be, but Emlyn has been spotted by the curious, shadowed soul. And now she steps into a risky path as she is new to this unsearchable criminal. Emlyn must take caution and advantage of the consequential situation before the stranger takes it to a level where it's too difficult to escape.

The Hound

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
